Buckeye Union High School

I'm giving a 2 stars. We have moved out to this area from the Mesa area. In Mesa there were many many programs for my child who is on an IEP. There is almost nothing here for her. No clubs etc. She can only go until lunch because of the lack of funds for an aide. So far the staff has been very nice and are trying to best meet her needs. I think I'm still in shock over the difference in schools in the valley. Hopefully next yr will be better.

I currently have 4 high schoolers at Buckeye Union. I have one that is on an IEP, 2 in honors classes, and 1 mainstream. The school as a whole gives lots of opportunities for sports, music and band, as well as theater for students to express themselves. My only complaint is that although I see the administration at the sporting activities, I don't believe the arts are as supported as they should be.

about 20 years ago I found a high school red ring with a big "B" on it. It is a gold ring. I put it away and lost it at home. A few years ago i went through a divorce and found it in my junk. It has the year 1993 on it. Maybe you can locate the owner. I am sure he or she would like to get it back. Bennie Dimas 1 209 969 2808. I live in northen California now. The ring also has some initials on it for who ever claims it. Thank you and please get back to me.

This school has been a headache from the beginning. The teachers can talk to students anyway they want, and some of the administrative staff won't even listen to the parents. The negative attitude of some teachers and staff is unsatisfactory. How will student succeed with no positive reinforcement.

My 17 yr. old step son transferred out of North Canyon High with a 1.89 overall GPA in his sophmore year. The boy is now in his senior year and is holding a 2.98 GPA due to the school taking their time with him and not overlooking him or us as concerned parents. The faculty is very attentive to the needs of their kids.

I learned so much from this school but there are flaws about this school.

I would give this school no stars if that was an option. As both a parent and former teacher at Buckeye Union High School, I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. The teachers, for the most part do attempt to do their best, but have no backing from administration. Speaking of which, the principal is 'unbalanced' for lack of a better term; she will try to harass any teacher who believes in students getting a fair and good education. If you want good teachers, staff, administration, as well as a good education for your children, send them to Youngkers High School instead of Buckeye Union High School.

Buckeye Union High School is an excellent school. They have a great Honors program and tough teachers. So if your child is a child wanting to succeed then I suggest having them attend Buckeye. The AG and FFA program are excellent as well as student involvment.
